Since latest WideVine update to version libwidevinecdm.so.4.10.1440.18 some users have problems with frame skipping on high bit-rate scenes. I found out that using previous WideVine version libwidevinecdm.so.4.10.1303.0 solves this problem.
For anyone interested I uploaded both, new and old WV versions here.

Scenes to test the difference: “Our Planet” E1 4min-6min and “Kiss Me First” E1 from beginning. On both scenes the bitrate goes over 20 Mbit/s.
Sorry to hear that, did you use the right one named old ? On my N2 on CE 9.0.3 it makes a big difference between new and old.
Did you try above mentioned videos ? How do they work for you ?
Edit:
Btw, maybe we don’t understand each other, you cannot get better frame rate with “old” libwidevinecdm. It only helps to eliminate frame skip on high bitrate scenes.
For example with “new” version playing "Our Planet” E1 4min-6min scenes I get more than 200 skipped frames, and same sequence played with old version I have only one or two skipped frames
I cannot see any (relevant) error, as there are lots of them.
Try with a fresh/new install and install ONLY Netflix addon, then see if there is any error.
Btw, what is exactly the problem, you can’t log in, you can’t do something in addon or the video does not play ?
OK, I see. First as suggested before make a fresh installation with default skin and install only Netflix addon. If you then get the same error, collect all logs in .kodi/temp folder and send them to see what is going on.
If it’s an addon error then seek further help here
I meant that I overwrote the current libwidevinecdm.so using the one you provide, but could not notice any difference when matching any high-bitrate scenes.
If you don’t have skipped frames on mentioned sample (Our Planet E1 scenes from 4min to 6min at 1080p with subtitles) then you don’t need to change your libwidevinecdm.so.
Do you know how to check the version of libwidevinecdm.so ?
Which version of “libwidevinecdm.so” do you have in “/storage/.kodi/cdm” folder ?
Try to copy libwidevinecdm.so.old to libwidevinecdm.so in /storage/.kodi/cdm folder. That is the way my NF addon works perfect.
At the same time in storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.module.inputstreamhelper/cdm folder I have the new version which NF addon does not use…
yes, I had. The frame rate issue does occur always at the same point in a given video, whatever the time of the day, the uptime of the box or the temperature recorder in the chip.
